Spectacular accommodation in amazing setting!

LorryB Dublin
Review Submitted: November 11, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
This was my 2nd year visiting Il Molino di Bordone. I fell in love with the setting and villa in 2007 so I decided it would be the perfect venue for my extended family to visit. All 14 members of my family drove up to the villa at 9pm on a hot balmy Tuscan night. We were greeted by the warm and friendly Caroline and Pino with drinks and canapes on the terrace. Immediately everyone was taken by the beautiful setting, the surrounding hills, the stunning architecture and the warm smiles of our hosts. We hired the entire complex for two weeks which afforded the perfect level of privacy for each family group but also provided many facilities for the entire group to enjoy. The latest accommodation the Fontanella is world class. It is a little (actually quite large!) luxury boutique hotel in the Tuscan hills. Each day we met for breakfast on the terrace before lounging later by the beautiful pool. Each night was a fun filled adventure with BBQ's in the garden, kids playing on the trampoline, walking through the extensive sun-flower fields, feeding the donkey or splashing in the pool. One of the highlights of our holiday was the evening Luca the chef came to visit for our cookery course. We had three fabulous hours making our own pasta, watching Luca at work. Finally at 8.30pm we sat down to dinner on the beautiful outdoor terrace where Luca served the entire family. This is an evening not to miss. The villas are beautiful with every facility you could require or ever imagine. The setting is spectacular! Caroline and Pino are warm, welcoming and fantastic at offering good advice. The location is perfect for touring beautiful Tuscany. The surrounding towns are picture postcard. Don't miss Cortona, Pienza or Montalcino. On our last evening we were lucky enough to watch the Bolshoi Ballet perform in the Main Square of Cortona as we ate dinner in a local restaurant. A night we will never forget. This is the perfect location for any size group. All 14 of my family left Tuscany with a sad heart. We had an amazing holiday which was due largely to the fabulous company but also to the perfect setting and hosts. We will all definitely return to a place which has a special place in our hearts."

Owner's Response: Hi Lorry, It was really super to see you here again and get to know the rest of the family. We enjoyed watching you all make the pasta during the cookery lesson. Your parents were a joy to talk with too. So, we hope maybe you will come again - the children will all have grown lots. Keep in touch. Caroline and Pino

Family gathering

Roy & Valerie St Andrews, Fife
Review Submitted: July 28, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We had an extended family gathering if 16 in this beautiful setting.
The 7 groups within this fitted easily and comfortably into the 4 units of the Molino with all cooking and eating outside at La Fontanella. Excellent space for both privacy and all the communal activities. Regular raids on the herb garden and much activity at the swimming pool as well as visits to Cortona, Florence, Sienna, Assisi and several mountain villages. Special mention of the several international football matches -- Europe v USA -- enthusiastically joined by the Nobile children. Easy shopping and good walking and eating places. Wall to wall sunshine was expected, but the kindness and helpfulness of the Nobile family was a massive bonus. Most enthusiastically and unconditionally recommended. Buonissimo!

Beautiful, exceeds expectations

John&Karen Toronto, Canada
Review Submitted: July 5, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We stayed in La Fontanella for 2 weeks, in late May, early spring 2009. This apartment is very clean, bright, and finished to an exceptionally high standard. The patio is huge and private, terrific for al fresco dining. And dine very well you will, what with the huge gourmet kitchen. This apartment is also unusual in that it is all one level. If you have any disability issues ( one healing broken leg, in our case), this can be important.
The grounds are scenic and quiet, and Pino and Caroline. were gracious hosts.The other apartments were suficiently distant. There is a wonderfully relaxing rural feel to the property, without making you feel remote. A car is probably a necessity, though.
Most certainly on our return list
